Heard a guy at the shop say "G-code is just spicy directions" and honestly that changed how I look at every program I write now lol

@nora110 Until you've triple-checked a G02 that crashed a $50k fixture, spicy just means expensive.

Totally thought it was all just math and magic before, but yeah that's PERFECTLY accurate. Makes writing it way less intimidating too.

Three hundred bucks per crash is how I finally learned to read G-code, not write it.
